tending to time

tending to time

already the to-do list
has spilled off the table
and squeezed under the doorjamb
smothering to-be time

I’m making a small circle of now
outlining places to file down
to keep things smooth

life mindlessly carries us along
until we remember
to tend rootlets all around
